    Although annoyed it’s currently on sale for $100 less than I paid, I love my Series 5. Always-on display, Seconal Meyer, and expanded health options are all on display. The compass functionality is fantastic as well. Went to the store yesterday without my phone. Listened to a podcast via cellular streaming and paid with Apple Pay. The future is now people, bring out the hoverboards. One caveat is the battery life is noticeably diminished compared to Series 3 (never had 4). That’s the only complaint though.

    This is my first Apple Watch and it’s awesome. I see a lot of people complaining about battery life. Apple advertises 18 hours and it gets that. The compass is a great addition for me because I hunt and I’m in the middle of the woods a lot. The health stuff is well done and has dozens of third-party add on apps that are very extensive. I love having an alarm on my wrist that vibrates and wakes me up because I’m a really heavy sleeper. The only negative is the glass scratches easily.

    This is my second Apple Watch that I have owned. My first was a basic Series 2. It was horrible. I then figured I would give Apple watches another try, and the Series 5 is great! It responds so much better to touch, the screen is a lot bigger, Siri actually works, and I really like the AOD, some say that it drains the battery too much. However, it will last about a day and a half if fully charged while using AOD. To me that isn’t an issue since my watch is put on the charger every single night after work.

    I bought this watch after trying all the Fitbit products on the market. The Fitbit was ok but just never kept a charge and I was always having to carry my phone with my watch when I ran, which was ridiculously taxing. All I can say is that I wish I would have bought this watch sooner because now I can run and text and talk with just my watch and leave my bulky cell phone behind! It is a must buy!

    This is my second Apple Watch and I love it more than the first. Best feature is the always on display. The only downside is the battery life but it does charge quickly so really not a great big hindrance. And 18 month financing didn’t hurt either! And, all my series 3 bands fit! Another bonus!

    Initially, battery life was terrible, likely due to the AOD, but recent OS updates have helped and I am now getting as good or better battery than previous  Watch generations.

    Great watch for daily use and short runs. I like not having to carry a phone to listen to music and receive calls or texts on a run. Battery life could be better or I would give it 5 stars.

    It is very nice for what it does the only issue I have with it is the lifespan of the battery per usage; I feel it could be a lot better than 18 hours of use and hopefully Apple will improve that with their next watch
